In a small corner of our world, an inspiring activity is underway. Students from Trio World School are deeply engaged in mentoring their counterparts in government higher primary school Kodigehalli. What is remarkable about this endeavour is that it is not just about mentoring; it is about fostering the core values of service, and leadership through community service.
These young students of ICSE exhibit a unique quality: they interact with the government school kids without a trace of superiority. They seamlessly integrate social responsibility into their lives, showing genuine empathy and compassion without acting as if they are doing a favour.
One key aspect of the students’ initiative is fundraising. They have embraced the power of creativity by crafting arts and crafts, which are then auctioned to raise funds for the student at the government school. The funds are then used to improve school infrastructure and resources. The results are astounding; in the last year, these young hearts and minds collected an impressive ₹40,000, a testament to their commitment to making a difference.
Beyond fundraising, these children are learning, sharing, and caring among themselves. They are aware of the needs of their community. They embody the qualities of responsible citizenship. They are not merely future leaders; they are actively participating in shaping a better future today.
The beauty of this endeavour lies in its ability to nurture social responsibility in a way that does not create divisions among the students. It is a reminder that when children are given the opportunity and guidance to care for others, they willingly embrace the responsibility. Trio’s students are not just cultivating qualities for tomorrow’s citizens; they are living examples of the compassionate, empathetic, and responsible citizens we all aspire to be.
